Opportunity Summary:
The BLM Utah Color Country District Friends Program (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00270) was a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on natural resources work in Utah's Color Country District. The award was intended to support a cooperative relationship between BLM and a designated Friends Group to deliver on-the-ground and community-facing programming that helps conserve, protect, and restore both natural and cultural resources on BLM-managed public lands. In practical terms, the program emphasized activities that strengthen resource stewardship while also encouraging scientific research and hands-on public participation, especially through citizen stewardship and volunteer engagement tied to the district's landscapes and heritage resources.
This opportunity was structured as a Cooperative Agreement rather than a standard grant, which generally signals substantial involvement by BLM staff in planning, coordination, technical support, and/or joint implementation. The program anticipated a single award, with total estimated funding of $9,000. The award floor and ceiling were both set at $9,000, meaning the selected project was expected to be funded at that fixed amount. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal match funds to be considered or to carry out the work under the agreement.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was broadly open to any type of applicant as allowed under the announcement, with the caveat that applicants still needed to meet any clarifications described in the full notice (referenced through the Grants.gov listing). The funding was tied to CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, which aligns with BLM work that supports habitat, ecological health, and broader conservation priorities, while also covering resource management actions that may intersect with cultural resource protection and public engagement.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted July 26, 2014, created in the system August 20, 2014, and closed August 22, 2014, indicating a very short application window. The announcement was later archived on September 26, 2014. Anyone needing access to the full announcement at the time was directed to the Grants.gov link provided in the notice, and the listed point of contact was Andrea J. Ramos at the BLM (phone 801-539-4145, email aramos@blm.gov).
